86-89 Points | International Wine Cellar , April 2012

(71% merlot, 23% cabernet sauvignon, 5% cabernet franc and 1% petit verdot; 3.69 pH):  Deep ruby-red.  Raspberry and red cherry aromas and flavors are complicated by cedar and white pepper.  Finishes fresh and clean, with fairly smooth tannins and a rising finish that features repeating red fruit notes.  But this wine lack the generosity of the best vintages and comes across as austere today.
